As the world gears up with travel itineraries and party plans to ring in 2026, Bollywood actor Huma Qureshi is charting a refreshingly different course. The acclaimed performer, known for her powerful roles, has declared that her ideal way to welcome the new year is through profound rest and solitude, steering clear of the typical festive frenzy.
A Much-Needed Break After a Hectic Year
In a candid conversation with ANI, Huma Qureshi opened up about her exhaustion after a demanding year. She expressed a clear disinterest in celebrations or holiday travel, emphasizing her need for a peaceful recharge. The actor stated her intention to dedicate the first three days of the New Year solely to sleeping and enjoying her own company, consciously avoiding social gatherings and parties.
Elaborating on her unconventional plan, Qureshi shared, "I want to sleep for three days on New Year's because I've had such a busy year. I'm also going to be working on a film. So I just want three days to relax and not do anything." She further clarified her personal stance on festivities, adding, "I'm not really a holiday person, a resolution person, or a party person. I just want to get some 'me time.' I just want to relax." This honest revelation highlights a growing sentiment among many seeking quality personal time over obligatory social engagements.
Gearing Up for a Major Cinematic Release
While her immediate plan revolves around rest, Huma Qureshi's professional calendar is set to be bustling. The actor is preparing for the release of a significant upcoming project. Her next film is the highly anticipated action-thriller 'Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups,' where she stars alongside pan-India superstar Yash.
In the film, Qureshi will be seen portraying a character named Elizabeth. The project boasts impressive creative credentials, having been written by Yash himself along with filmmaker Geetu Mohandas. It is produced by Venkat K. Narayana and Yash under the banners of KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations.
Star-Studded Technical Team for 'Toxic'
The film's technical crew is a powerhouse of talent, promising a high-quality cinematic experience. The team includes:
- Cinematographer: Rajeev Ravi
- Music Composer: Ravi Basrur

Mark your calendars, as 'Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups' is scheduled for a grand theatrical release on March 19, 2026. The date strategically aligns with a major festive weekend across India, coinciding with Eid, Ugadi, and Gudi Padwa, ensuring a massive box office opening.
